PP CS6 crashing on start up

Question

PP CS6 crashes on start up and locks up the intializing window with the error message: Loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.Bundle
This problem has been erratic over the last several weeks. The first time the work around was a reinstall of the app. The last event had the benefit of the forum's input with several suggestions for trashing/removing different QT plugins and/or preferences, and permissions repair. Individually it seemed like nothing worked but then, unexpectedly, PP booted and work resumed. After several days of work the app has done the same lock up with no apparent pattern to indicate the reason why. Anybody else have this problem and solve it? The system is: dual Quad Core 2.93 MHz, 12 GB ram, OS 10.6.8

Yea, PRAM is a Mac thing:  Parameter Random Access Memory (PRAM) is a small amount of memory continually powered by a lithium battery to retain its contents even when the machine is shutdown. PRAM maintains information such as: background color, default video selection, network information, serial port information, and default highlight color.
Sometimes I think it's as much superstition as computer hygiene to reset it. Don't know what it's relationship is to Quicktime but this time it seemed to have an effect.
Personally though I'd prefer the procedure used by joe bloe premiere - so little we do with computers contains that much glamour.
